At the train station strait out the main doors (Westish) then head left and down the stairs to the jernbanetorget. Take a look around and you will see the small details on some of the buildings across the street - watch out for the trikk (tram)! This may be your first intro to the mostly granite work around Oslo.

The Vigeland Park

The Vigeland Park is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist, and is one of Norway's most popular tourist attractions. The park is open to visitors all year round.

The unique sculpture park is Gustav Vigeland's lifework with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and wrought iron. Vigeland was also in charge of the design and architectural layout of the park. The Vigeland Park was mainly completed between 1939 and 1949.

Most of the sculptures are placed in five units along an 850 meter long axis: The Main gate, the Bridge with the Children's playground, the Fountain, the Monolith plateau and the Wheel of Life.
